Safety Notices

!

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock which could cause personal injury, follow all safety

notices. The symbols shown are used in your documentation and on your equipment to indicate safety

hazards.

Warning: Lithium batteries can be dangerous. Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in an

explosion. Dispose of lithium batteries as required by local ordinance or as normal waste if no local

ordinance exists.

Warning: The detachable power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device.

Warning: This equipment has a 3-wire, grounded power cord. To prevent electrical hazards, do not

remove or defeat the ground prong on the power cord. Replace the power cord if it gets damaged.

Contact your dealer for an exact replacement.

In the U.S.A. and Canada, the power cord must be a UL-listed detachable power cord (in Canada,

CSA-certified), type ST or SJT, 16 AWG, 3-conductor, provided with a molded-on NEMA type

5-15 P plug cap at one end and a molded-on cord connector body at the other end. The cord length

must not exceed 9 feet (2.7 meters).

Outside the U.S.A. and Canada, the plug must be rated for 250 VAC, 10 amp minimum, and must

display an international agency approval marking. The cord must be suitable for use in the end-user

country. Consult your dealer or the local electrical authorities if you are unsure of the type of power

cord to use in your country. The voltage change occurs via a switch in the power supply.

Warning: Under no circumstances should the user attempt to disassemble the power supply. The

power supply has no user-replaceable parts. Inside the power supply are hazardous voltages that can

cause serious personal injury. A defective power supply must be returned to your dealer.

Safety Notices for Users Outside of the U.S.A. and Canada

PELV (Protected Extra-Low Voltage) Integrity: To ensure the extra-low voltage integrity of the

equipment, connect only equipment with mains-protected electrically-compatible circuits to the

external ports.

Remote Earths: To prevent electrical shock, connect all local (individual office) computers and

computer support equipment to the same electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure,

check the building wiring to avoid remote earth conditions.

Earth Bonding: For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in

accordance with current wiring regulations in your country. In the U.K., those regulations are the IEE.

Care and Handling

Use the following guidelines to properly handle and

care for your system.

Protect the system from extremely low or high temperatures. Let

the system warm (or cool) to room temperature before using it.

Keep the system away from magnetic forces.

Keep the system dry. Do not wash the system with a wet

cloth or pour fluid into it.

Protect the system from being bumped or dropped.

Check the system for condensation. If condensation

exists, allow it to evaporate before powering on the

system.

Keep the system away from dust, sand, and dirt.

Features

Overview

The system (see Figure 2-1) is a modular,

multiprocessing server based on the Intel Pentium® II

chip set. The chassis and system board have been

designed to meet the needs of the server marketplace.

The combination of compute performance, memory

capacity, and integrated I/O provides a high

performance environment for many applications

including network servers, multi-user systems, and

computer-aided design/computer-aided engineering

(CAD/CAE) applications.

As application requirements increase, you can expand

your server with additional memory, add-in boards and

peripheral devices: tape and hard disk drives.

Features

The server features the following major components:

■

Up to two Pentium II processors

■

A high-performance synchronous system bus to

interconnect CPUs and memory subsystems with a

bridge to expansion bus I/O.

■

On-board IDE controller

■

On-board ultra wide SCSI and fast narrow SCSI

controllers.

■

6 integrated I/O expansion slots (three ISA, two PCI

and one combo).

■

Up to 512MB of ECC memory (using 128MB

DIMMS). Minimum configuration is 32MB of memory

(using a 32MB DIMM).

■
